My name is Ashley, I graduated from Saratoga Highschool in 2020. Since then i've completed various childcare certifications. This past year i took a sabbatical to persue my talent in Makeup. Now that I have Graduated Cosmetology School Im looking to come back to childcare! Currently I attend SUNY Adirondack full-time studying Early Childhood Development and Pyschology. I have been babysitting many children since I was 12 years old. My experience is excellent with children as young as newborns to 13 year olds. I am qualified and educated in providing a safe, secure and healthy environment for your child to thrive in. Please reach out for references from previous or current families I work for.

We absolutely love Ashley! She loves spending time with kids and truly connecting with them. My kids adore her. When she babysat for us regularly, she was very communicative about her schedule and never missed a shift without providing advance explanation. She is very responsible, and we always felt safe leaving our kids in her care.

A Little About Me Hi there! I’m an experienced, fully vaccinated nanny who loves connecting with children and encouraging each one’s unique personality. I’m patient, kind, and attentive, with years of experience caring for children of all ages—including those with special needs. I’m organized, reliable, and able to manage a household smoothly, whether multitasking independently or anticipating what needs to be done. I’m a non-smoker, an excellent driver and swimmer, and a retired criminal justice professional with a college degree. I’m happy to submit to a full background check. I’ve also held household manager roles, so I understand how a home should run. I enjoy cooking, can help with light housekeeping, and provide pet care if needed. As a mom of two grown children, I know how important stability, consistency, and respect for your family’s privacy are. I believe communication is key and would love the chance to chat with you about your family’s needs. Please reach out if you’d like to connect—I’d be happy to talk!

Hi parents! I'm a nanny with over 12 years of experience with children. I've just relocated to Troy/NY with my husband after living in London for the past 5 years. My last role as a nanny lasted four years and the kids were two weeks and two years old when I started. During that period, I also babysat for many different families through an app called Bubble which provides reviews from all the parents –I've always had a great relationship with all of them, especially the kids! I'm happy to send you the link so you can check. Right before moving I had gotten a UK background check which I can provide as well. I'm also Paediatric First Aid trained. I’m bubbly, caring, dependable and open minded. I truly love spending time with little ones, whether it's reading stories, playing games, or just being a calm and reassuring presence while parents are away! I come with a strong background in caring for people and I bring all of that warmth into my time with children. I'm a natural communicator and will always keep you in the loop so you can enjoy your time away with total peace of mind. I genuinely believe that every child deserves to feel safe, heard, and happy, and that's exactly the kind of environment I love to create. I'd be happy to be a trusted presence in your family's life, even just for a few hours here and there. Don't hesitate to reach out, I'd love to hear about your family and see if we're a great fit! 😊

Cynthia was our full time nanny from July 2021 to September 2025, providing sole charge care for our two children, aged two weeks and two years old at the time. From the very beginning, Cynthia brought warmth, reliability, and deep knowledge of child development. From the earliest stages (nappy changes, feeding, sleep routines, and soothing) to supporting milestones such as crawling, walking, talking, and potty training, she has been incredibly hands-on and proactive. Her thoughtful approach ensures that both children feel safe, stimulated, and nurtured at every stage. She was the best at supporting both of our children's development, tailoring her care ot their individual needs and personalities. Whether organising creative indoor play, planning outings to the park or museum, or simply engaging them ni thoughtful conversation and storytelling, Cynthia has always prioritised learning through play and emotional connection. Her approach is structured yet nurturing, and she has an innate ability to set boundaries with kindness and clarity. She has helped our children build healthy routines, supported their motor and sensory development, and encouraged their growing independence with great patience. We especially appreciate how she promotes language development and social skills through age-appropriate activities and meaningful interaction. Beyond childcare, Cynthia also managed light housekeeping duties related to the children, such as keeping their rooms tidy, preparing nutritious meals, organising their belongings, and doing their laundry. Cynthia is a trustworthy, kind, and capable professional who became a truly valued part of our family. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any family seeking an experienced, compassionate, and professional nanny. She will be a wonderful asset to any household lucky enough to have her.

Hello there! My name is Anya and I am here to help lighten your load, helping to make your busy schedule a little easier. I'm energetic, responsible, reliable, kind, compassionate, and caring. I have always loved and enjoyed working with children. My experience starts when I was 13 watching not only my niece but my mom’s friends kids. When I turned 17 I started working for the YMCA at an after school program, I worked with the YMCA for 2 years till they unfortunately closed due to the pandemic. During the pandemic I went to school for childhood education. I worked as teaching assistant which included my 7 years of working experience with children. I most recently was a nanny for a family who had an 8 month old and was with them for almost two years. It is something I love to do and am passionate about. Not only do I love caring for children, but I also love helping with things that need to be done around the house. I am willing to help out in anyway I can to make things easier for you and your family.

I just moved here last year from Cleveland OH, I am going to be a junior in college but doing it remotely. I have very flexible hours and I am very good at communicating with parents. Since I was a young girl, I have always been babysitting/care taking for my neighbors, cousins, siblings and more. In Ohio I was a nanny for 2.5 years for 3 children. I was able to take them to any places, appointments, practices, and more that they needed to be at. I also had to cook meals, prepare snacks, help with homework and more. I loved taking the kids I took care of to the park, on walks, or really anything that they wanted to do. Since being in NY I was the Nanny for a family with a 5 and 7 year old. As well as a Nanny for a family with a 6 month old. I am CPR certified and I am studying to be a Physical Therapist at the time. Id love to meet in person or over the phone to discuss more and of course meet you and your child.

Hey guys!😊 My name is Asianna(Asia) I have 4+ years of experience with kids of all ages and am First aid and CPR certified. I started out working at a center for people with physical/mental disabilities,and from there transferred over to A New England nanny where I currently work doing household chores (that pertain to the kids), transportation, meals , cleaning, uphold daily routines , etc. I come from a family of 13, so learning to adapt and have patience in different situations is one of my biggest strengths. I’m very active and creative so I love trying to give the kids outside time (if allowed/age appropriate) and have my bachelors degree in biology so I am very knowledgeable with mathematics, sciences, and literature, and am able to aid in any schooling and education they may need. I love children and being a nanny has helped me see the world through kids eyes. being able to aid in their process of development is the best joy
